not found him. they had dozens of officers from san jose, hayward and b.a.r.t. they set up a perimeter around this property home to a number of businesses and a very large parking lot here on the 23,000 block here in hayward. they along with a couple k-9s searched the area, looked inside rvs, went through the businesses, even checked a couple businesses across the street. but there is still no sign of this man. you're looking at his photo. andrew trujillo, a man police arrested around 5:20 this morning after they found him in a stolen semi truck. they handcuffed trujillo, placed him in the caged area of the squad car and continued on with their investigation. somehow trujillo was able to steal the squad car, take off and head north. as you can see in this video from nbc bay area sky ranger, he ditched that stolen police car in this parking lot. it's parked between a pickup truck and a banged up white suv. you can see that squad car

there. here's a lady who works in one of the businesses at this property. >> someone i work with was here, heard a -- the way the sound carries, you can hear vehicles. you can tell someone came in way too fast. he stuck his nose out the door to see what was going on. he saw the car park, he saw the guy get out and run here towards the street. instead of watching the guy, he went to look at the car. realized, oh, wait. at the same time someone was coming out of one of the other businesses who called the officers. >> reporter: sjpd tells us all of the weapons in that stolen squad car are accounted for. here's another look at andrew trujillo, the suspect. he's about 5'11", was wearing a orange shirt with reflective stripes, blue jeans, gray shoes. again, police have not yet found him. as the officer mentioned just moments ago, they know who he is. reporting live in hayward, bob redell, nbc bay area news. >> thanks for the latest, bob. a shocker out of washington

this morning. u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, is resigning. >> and scott mcgrew, this apparently caught the president off guard. >> that's right. that's what our reporters in the white house tell us, marcus. the obvious question is why. and i'll let ambassador haley speak for herself. >> i don't have anything set on where i'm going to go. i think that the main thing was, i was governor for six years, and we dealt with a hurricane, a thousand-year flood, a church shooting, a school shooting, it was a lot. and to do two years of russia and iran and north korea, it's been eight years of intense time, and i'm a believer in term limits. i think you have to be selfless enough to know when you step aside and allow someone else to do the job. so thank you, mr. president. >> thank you. >> it's been an honor of a lifetime. >> haley, along with defense secretary, james mattis, are very well thought of by democrats and republicans alike. and well thought of by world leaders who are looking for stability and clear signals from washington.

now one group who may be pleased by this development is the russians. haley was very difficult on russian delegations in the united nations, taking them to task for support of syria and the poisoning of their former spy in great britain. she gave the russians no quarter. now, the immediate obvious question is, is this part of a plan to challenge president trump for the presidency in 2020? the answer there was a very big no. >> no, i am not running for 2020. i can promise you what i'll be doing is campaigning for this one. >> now, could she run for 2020? of course, she could. but that sound bite right there would be a pretty rough one to run if she then changes her mind. >> right. and she was pretty adamant about making that point known, because i think everybody was wondering. >> kind of assumed that's what she was doing. >> talked about in the news room when we heard about it. >> yep. >> interesting. she was a big influence, like you say. thanks, scott. >> you bet. now to your microclimate weather forecast.

that's why one santa clara school district is telling parents what to look for and what the hazards of vaping can be on growing bodies and brains. districts are struggling with kids showing up at school with the devices that are so owed or less and harmless looking that they're motivated to vape in school bathrooms and maybe even in class when the teacher is not looking. >> it dissipates so quickly, by the time the teacher turns around, it's gone. there's very little odor. there's -- so it's not like a regular cigarette or a marijuana joint, where it's very obvious and the smell lasts for a long time. >> morgan hill police officer talked with teachers and staff back in march and now the district wants to do the same with parents to make sure they know what to look out for. they suggest talking to teens about the legal impacts of vaping. watch purchases, especially online, where they can use a prepaid card and lie about their age to buy e cigarettes. and don't look for smoke to give

them away. finally, examine charges with circular ports, with i is what many vapes use, even ones that look like usb. tonight's vaping meeting is at the morgan hill district office, free for all parents at 6:00 tonight. if you want to get outside and enjoy the fresh air today might be the great day to do that. we had that smoke in the air a couple days ago, but it moved out? >> it's starting to move out so the air quality is improving, definitely good news. temperatures are cooling off, as well. as we get a live look outside in oakland right now, as you get ready to head out, we've got beautiful sunshine and some fairly comfortable temperatures. right now in the mid 60s for much of the coast and parts of the inner bay. 69 now in san jose, and it's 72 in livermore and in antioch. look how much cooler now it is compared to yesterday at this time. in some spots, 15 degrees cooler. that's what it is right now in napa. and in san jose, 9 degrees cooler. oakland right now 12 degrees

lower than 24 hours ago. so as we get a live look outside, it's such a nice day. we head over towards east san jose and evergreen. our normal temperature for this time of year is about 76 degrees. so we're still going to be above normal today. we're going to cool off several more degrees tomorrow before it heats up. if you're out and around san martine for the afternoon, we're also going to see highs reaching into the mid 70s there, and then a nice little breeze picking up this evening in concord. a little bit warmer with highs reaching into the low 80s. and then it does cool off fairly quickly. so we'll only be at about 80 degrees for a short period of time. as we look at our south bay temperatures, milpitas will reach 80 degrees and for the east bay, up to 83 degrees and in antioch. oakland, 74 degrees. along the peninsula, temperatures ranging anywhere from 65 at half moon bay to 80 in palo alto. and san francisco staying in the 60s today.

a lot of dry fuels over the bay area hills. we'll have more updates. you have to be really careful. and san francisco sees the clouds and fog returning tomorrow for a little while. we'll get more sunshine, slightly warmer temperatures in time for the weekend. we'll talk about some things going on, and another look at the forecast. it's coming up in a few minutes. laura and marcus? >> perfect. we'll look forward to it. coming up, how do you celebrate after you launch and land a spacecraft on the west coast? a look at the way elon musk is enjoying spacex's latest achievements. first, a list of nominees for the 2019 rock and roll hall of fame is diverse. it goes from '60s funk to '70s punch, '80s rock, and even '90s alternative. the museum is in cleveland and reveals 50 nominees this morning. six first time nominees, including stevie knicks. others include janet jackson, ll cool j, radiohead and rage against the machine. no matter how you define rock

immediate threat to life, to property. the safest thing to do was to deenergize. >> reporter: the company started laying plans to proactively cut power after massive fires in 2003 and 2007 wiped out thousands of homes and killed 17 people. >> california should be more aware of not only fire conditions, but the fact that if their power goes out, that it's a safer environment for everyone. >> reporter: craig clemons is director at the fire and weather research lab in san jose state. he says it's very similar to san diego. >> this is a climatological study of the wind event. >> reporter: just like the santa ana winds in southern california, he says fast-moving down slope winds called diablo winds, can create extremely dangerous fires up here. do you think utility companies should be deenergizing power lines in northern california? >> i think it's a great way to mitigate the risk.

>> reporter: but pg&e only recently started to consider deenergizing. the company declined an interview request to discuss why it didn't cut power to its lines last october. in a statement, pg&e said proactively turning off power is a highly complex issue. and the threat of wildfire has fundamentally changed, impacting more people than ever before. the company says it's ready to flip the switch now and it's learning from san diego gas and electric. in your experience, can cutting power save lives? >> it is a cutough one to answe definitively. we're confident that had fires started in the back country of san diego in december, they definitely could have taken lives. >> reporter: in san diego county, liz wagner, nbc bay area news. >> and if you have a story for our investigative unit, give them a call. that number, 888-996-t-i-p-s, or visit nbcbayarea.com/investigations.

challenge. that's because the fairgrounds is actually owned and operated by the state, not contra costa county. supporters of the ban argue, among other things, the fairgrounds is located right near antioch high school. the oakland diocese of the catholic church says it will release the names of all priests credibly accused of sexual abuse. they will also be launching an independent investigation into clergy sex abuse. the bishop of oakland diocese says the church has nothing to hide and releasing the names is the right thing to do. the first list of names will be released next month, and as we reported, the san jose diocese of the catholic church is set to do the same this month. police are looking for this man, who they say might be linked to a possible hate crime. it happened outside of a dentist office in san jose. you see the man is wearing a patriotic shirt with the word "usa" across it. it's in the surveillance tape. the doctor discovered a swastika and what appears to be the

indicate there was a lot of force and energy involved in that crash. >> reporter: among the victims in the limo, two newly wed couples and many close friends, all on their way to celebrate amy stein berg's 30th birthday at a local brewery. her husband, axel, had hired the limo so everyone could celebrate safely. >> i want to believe it was instant. and that he never knew what happened. >> reporter: corrina's older sister, amanda, also died. >> i think just having my sister around is what i'm going to miss the most. having her physically here. i was thinking i could really go for an amanda hug right now. >> reporter: this morning, the attorney representing the limo firm says the limos were safe. >> as far as we know, there were no mechanical issues with the vehicle. and any defects that did exist in the past, the owners went

campaign ads. >> take rental housing off the market. >> taking on our housing crisis by voting yes on 10. >> reporter: and now the fight over affordable housing and rent control gets closer to a conclusion. right now, a state law only allows for rent control on units built before 1995, and it's not allowed on single family homes. proposition 10 would repeal that, and allow cities and counties to regulate rents for any kind of housing. >> what's good for modesto, might not be good for san francisco. and passing prop 10 would allow local cities to come up with their own housing laws. >> reporter: the yes campaign argues prop 10 would help, as california's skyrocketing rents are pushing out people like teachers and those who grew up here. >> you have people who are working two to three jobs just to pay for more than 60% of their income into rent. and so right now is the time in order to, like, make sure that working families have safe and affordable housing. >> reporter: a no vote would keep the current system in

place. gustavo gonzalez is a realtor and landlord against prop 10. >> if you look at all the cities with rent control, they're almost the highest-priced rents. so how is that helping? it's not. >> reporter: he says if prop 10 passes, developers won't build as much housing, because their margins will decrease. and the inventory for renters will also go down. >> it's going to put rent control on pretty much everything or anything that the city feels is appropriate. and that's going to scare away our builders, which is the complete opposite of what we want. we want our builders building more housing, not less or no housing. >> no on 10. >> vote yes on 10. >> the election is november 6. ian cole, nbc bay area news. right now, we want to get a look at what's going on with the weather outside. kari, looking good for us? >> yes, i mean, look at these skies out there as we take that live look outside over the south bay. as we go to santa clara, the temperatures are going to be very comfortable today. and even slightly cooler

nbcbayarea.com/responds. i'll see you again tonight at 6:00. >> thanks, chris. let's check in with kari and a look at the forecast for today. pretty nice day we've been having. >> yeah, so nice. even a little bit cooler than it was yesterday. so i think a lot of people in the valleys will enjoy that. as we take a look outside, maybe you'll be heading to the beach. ocean beaches looking pretty nice where temperatures will stay in the 60s here. we'll be heating up just a little more for the inland areas. and then we can see high clouds moving by as we take a live look from twin peaks, san francisco. we can see that is going to be moving throughout the day. and giving us some interesting sky cover over the bay area. as you get ready to head out, though, we do still have the hazy conditions. still some light patches of smoke drifting by, because of the nearby brush fires that we have seen blowing around the bay area. now, the direction of the wind carries some of that smoke away from the peninsula, so that's one of the places where our air quality will be good. and we're still seeing those dark blue skies in the south

bay, heading over toward willow glen we'll be in the upper 70s for the afternoon. and that's just a few degrees above what's normal for this time of year. so we'll reach 77 degrees, hitting that high temperature at 4:00 this afternoon. and then cooling down into the low 70s by 7:00. as we get a look at our south bay microclimate and the highs we're going to see for today, in east san jose, morgan hill, expect a high of 82 degrees. it will be up to 83 in concord, martinez 79 degrees. and 77 today in hayward. redwood city reaching 78 degrees, and daly city, 69 degrees there. we'll be up to 67 in ingleside, outer sunset 66 degrees. and 76 in mill valley, santa rosa reaching 79 degrees. we have been giving a lot of updates on hurricane michael, and now we're starting to see that well-defined eye in the middle of the storm, showing that it could continue to strengthen. and that's exactly what the

forecast is calling for over the next couple of days. this could make it up to category 3 status before it moves into the florida panhandle. that's expected to make landfall. at this point it will be late wednesday evening and then quickly making a turn off towards the east on thursday and back out into the atlantic. and then as we look at what's happening in the pacific, we have category 1 hurricane sergio. this is expected to move off towards the east over the next couple of days. so right in its path will be very close to cabo. so this could bring in a lot of rainfall over the next couple of days, as it moves through by the weekend. this is something that we'll be keeping an eye on. as we look at our inland forecast, expect those high temperatures today in the low 80s, even cooler tomorrow. we can turn off the air conditioning and give it a couple of days of a break, because there will be some very warm weather returning. look at saturday. we're going to be blasting the ac once again as our high temperatures reach into the

upper 80s. and it will be about the same on sunday. and then for san francisco, it's going to be warming up, so looking forward to some more comfortable weather there going into saturday, sunday and monday. and, of course, we'll be keeping an eye on all of the tropics going on from the atlantic to the pacific. this is just a busy time of year, marcus and laura. >> no kidding. coming up, a mile an hour tierous death leaving kids paralyzed. the work towards a cure. folks, before we go to break, i want to show you how to join our community on the waze application. leverage the power of us all, as well as the power of google. let's go to with our waze app on iphone or android. in the bottom corner, there is a magnifying glass. click on that and then click on your name, your profile. scroll down to see teams and pick ours, nbc bay area wazers. that's how you join the community and how we help each other out. we'll get back to you right after this break. every parents .
